I have an older janitrol heat pump 240 volt.

The compressor runs at 240. That doesn't mean the control circuit
does. It's probably 120.


It's more likely the control circuit runs at 24V, which is
what the transformer is for.

It runs on 120 which is lowered to 24.

Not likely if the transformer is really in a 240V heat pump, which is what he
said he has.







I know my transformer is bad.
However it's an older one with one 1 black wire built in. The rest of the
wires connect to it with spade clips.

If you expect to find a transformer with the same wires and spade
lugs, you might find one at a furnace supply store, in person or on
the web, if you provide the furnace make and modle.


Given that this transformer apparently isn't a garden variety one,
and he doesn't know what he's doing, getting the identical replacement
one is a good idea.

Sure, but he said it's older and he probably won't find one, unless he
provides the model number at a place that sells replacment parts,

Wow, who would have ever thought that the model number would be
required?
